There should be NO legislation during a lame duck session
Because of the TERRIBLE THREATS to interracial marriage in the United States, the US Senate simply HAD to act.
Effing clowns.
Haha the GOP is absolutely pathetic.
let the Christian persecutions begin
THankfully it was gutted out of it’s most serious flaws...number one problem was it left no room for religious liberty but I think Mike Lee got it included in the language. Also as I understand it is STILL up to the states as the feds can’t make state laws concerning marriage. It was severely weakened but of course it still inches us closer to the leftist position of anything goes.
Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.

Protect interracial marriage?? Never knew that needed protecting
Inflation. Crime. Border. War in Europe. China aggression. Energy.
ā¦ And our US Congress is pettyfogging perverts.
But, not all a'.. This nation is TOAST.!!
The Republican party wants the votes of social conservatives. They just don’t want to represent them in congress.
Anyone who votes for a representative who despises their constituent is a useful idiot.
So.......when do I get to marry my sister? (sarc)
Interracial marriage? Democrats are evil incarnate.
The main effect is that if a marriage is valid in the state where the marriage was entered into, then it is valid in every other state. This simply enforces the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution Article IV, Section 1.
Secondarily, if the marriage is valid in the state where the marriage was entered into, then it is valid for federal purposes, e.g. filing a joint income tax return.

From what I seem to have gathered, it looks like a lot of Bible-believing pastors are going to be starting new prison ministry’s, not exactly of the volunteer kind.
Interracial marriage has been protected for decades. Nothing new there.
Homosexual āmarriageā is a completely different thing. A contradiction in terms.

From related thread...
The Supreme Court had clarified in Reid v. Covert that federal power to approve treaties cannot be used as a backdoor to expand the federal government's powers.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." āReid v. Covert, 1957.
But regardless that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to regulate marriage, post-17th Amendment ratification renegade Senate Democrats and RINOs are now abusing the Constitution's full faith and credit clause by likewise trying to use it as a back door to expand the feds powers to attack the 10th Amendment-protected powers of the sovereign states to define marriage imo.
Historically speaking, regarding the full faith and credit clause, consider that at one time if you were 18 years old and living in a state where minimum drinking age is 18, and you visit a friend in a state where drinking age is 21, then your state's lower minimum drinking age did not follow you into your friend's state.
Somehow, I don’t think a partner in a gay marriage has the safety of the family as his/her first concern.
